Awful experience to be a principal or staff and as a maintenance worker I hear extremely inappropriate and racist slurs and sentences at this school 2 stars.

This is a wonderful school! You can be as involved as you want (you don’t have to be involved with PTO) have lunch with my little one on Mondays, volunteer to be homeroom mom which brings me in the classroom a lot and I like all the sign ups for additional volunteer times. The teachers are outstanding!!! I do like that the crazy ideology hasn’t made its way into this school, if that’s your prerogative this isn’t the school for you. We will be attending private school for middle school.

I have a daughter who is at this school and just read the other review. I am experiencing the same situation with this school. I have family members who attended this school years ago and it’s obviously changed. The catty women who work there pretend nothing is going on and hiding children getting bullied. Somebody needs to be accountable for their actions.

I have 2 children who attend RB Hunt. This school makes it very hard for kids to make friends or adapt to a new school. The playground is gated and closed to kids after school. There are no school run clubs for kids to meet people. They do offer extended day opportunities but they are run by independent companies. The school apparently has parent volunteers but unless you suck up to the pta you will not have the opportunity to be part of your child’s school experience. We paid more to live here because the school was supposed to be great but I wish I went somewhere different. This schools retention rating shows that many other parents feel the same. My children have both been bullied at this school and they tell me about it, other parents tell me about it, but the teachers have never felt it was necessary to tell me my child cried all day.

My child attended this school for a short time, we decided to transfer her out of this school half way through the year. We moved here from out of the area and our child felt the exclusivity of the school immediately. She was a well liked child at our previous school district. However we moved for work and fell prey to the vultures at RB HUNT. If you are interested in buying your way into cliches and having your child do the same and learning about material importance rather then human compassion, RB HUNT is the school for you! In addition we found that there is also a lot of racist statements from children, there is zero diversity and zero compassion for outsiders.

Great school! Very happy with teachers and staff. Would recommend Hunt to anyone relocating to this area.
